mecky,
I have been working on take-away too. I think I was overdoing the forward press (see videos in Gallery). Seemed to me there were two options:

1-piece takeaway where turn is started with shoulders or
Right hand take - away.

I have been using the RH takeaway for a week or so, and it seems to work well for me. Simply pull club back with right hand and then drop it back down again. I picked this up on the Mozella site - he tries to explain the difference in one of his video answers:

http://www.manzellagolfforum.com/for...?TOPIC_ID=3204

Not exactly clear what it is he says , but basically I just think about throwing the club back in a smooth way which drags the shoulder etc back too. He says that it's hard to hit a long ball if you don't do this.

Re: big probs

my comments only on the follow through picture

if you notice, your left elbow is in a chicken wing position. the left elbow should fold up on the follow through. to get a better feel for this try the following. grap the outside of your left arm with your right hand. now swing a club. you should feel as if your left arm is extending down and then folding up. hope this helps.

Re: big probs

straight back = bend at the hips - do not hunch over. A strong athletic stance creates the ability to build, store and release power.

What I believe he is saying is that your back is in its natural position (good posture = straight). The bend at the waist is exactly that... think of reaching over a half wall or railing.
